I saw this trend coming at the New York fashion week this past month and I didn't think it would make it quite this fast.. Unfortunately ponchos are usually known to be worn in really cold countries and areas, but it's a trend I'd like to rock but In a lighter material, it comes in gowns, and tops and some are even cropped... Talk about the new a and modernized ponchos..
Here are a few ways I will rock the trend
Go chic or go home; when buying a poncho or poncho styled blouse try not to let the fabric overwhelm you by making you look boxy and out of place, choose a not too thick fabric (obviously lagos is hot biko) get one that suits your body shape and you can add a pair of heels and could be worn with jeans or leggings. Even a pair of sneakers could give a little edge. But remember, style is relative, so wear it as you would feel comfortable
* flowy or tasseled ponchos; now these are sometimes longer and can be worn to the beach as a dress, to the pool and just breezy outings like the upcoming Copa lagos beach soccer event. They have an effortless feel to them and you can wear your bikini underneath without looking or feeling tacky.
Lastly
The silk poncho inspired blouses are a chic alternative to button up chiffon blouses (I'd love to give them a break) though they aren't made to hug your figure, but when you wear them, you tend to square your shoulders and walk with a hop in your step, making you look and feel confident and sexy *wink*
What do you think of the trend though? Is it worth trying? Is this the first time you are hearing or seeing this ? Or should we just leave it to the oyinbos.. Hehe
Have a fab weekend, and remember to always "keep it classy"
